all the fittings to be carried by on the stri s 11, and M- fa-ceoutwardly of the cab. T e hinge pillars 5, 5, are provided with short,interspeced pieces 11 end 13, as in the case of the sides Except forlatch sockets in the portions 8 of the top strips, the above aresubstantially the vehicle cab.

The windows are formed in the example shown of three sections, althoughfollowing the same principles, the number of sections could be extended.I prefer a. good sized window glass in in cabs, because of the improvedvision prot uced thereby, and the reducing of the size of glass andincreasing of numbers of the sections is not preferred by me.

Thus'l show a rear section 15, s central section 16, and a forwardsection 17, each formed of a Wood or metal frame, suitably glazed with asheet of glass. The central section and rear section are securedhingedly together by means of a piano hinge 18, which is a type of hingehaving leaves es;- tending the full length of the objects to be coupled,and a long pintle, with nothing ex posed when the parts are closed butthe lee-t knuckles. This hinge flexes inwardly of the 7 vehicle calL(Figure 8.)

The central section and front section are coupled together by hingeshaving leaves 19, 19, at top and bottom of both sections. and specialpintles 20 for the top leaves, and

' 21 for the bottom leaves.

The leaves 19 and pintlcs 20 and :21 are also used at the forward and otthe iron: section and the rear end of the rear section.

The entire Window section, when extended,

reaches from the wind-shield frame at the front of the cab to the sideportions thereof. It preferably does not extend clear to the back of thecab, when in full closed position, the result of this being that whenfully extended, the Window device may be set in yerious positions(Figure 2), which will give desired ventilation.

Referring next to the special hinge pin-- ties. The pintles 20 extendbelow the hinge leaves Where they are mounted and see equipped with nuts22 at their lower ends. Over the pintle extensions are placed lett handWound springs 23, which bear against the nuts and lock them in place,and which press down on the pintles. The nuts and leaves 19 are notchedJ at 19 and 22 to receive the ends of the springs.

The upper ends of the pintles are extended and bent to form hooks 24,which ride on the triangular top strips hitherto mentioned. (Figure 5Thus in the example shown, there are three of the hook ended pintlesengaging over the supporting rail, two on the front section and one onthe rear sect-ion.
